Report: Joe Rogan and Jon Anik Get the Nod for UFC on Fox Sports 1 in Boston

It looks like the UFC will be switching up it's commentary team for the promotion's debut card on Fox Sports 1 this August.

According to a report by the New York Post's Marc Raimondi Tuesday evening, comedian and UFC commentator Joe Rogan will join Jon Anik behind the mic when the UFC comes to Boston for the launch of the new network on Aug. 17.

The switch will be a change of pace for both men as Rogan usually works the pay-per-view cards with Mike Goldberg while Anik is usually paired with Kenny Florian for Fuel TV and FX shows.

However, this won't be the first time that Rogan and Anik, who both hail from Boston, will have worked a card together. The duo previously called UFC 155 this past December when Anik replaced Goldberg, who had to pull out due to health issues.

In my opinion, the pair did a great job calling that card, so I can't wait to see them work together again this summer.

There has been no news yet as to whether this will be the commentary team for future FS1 events.

Another interesting note from yesterday's report is the news that former light-heavyweight and middleweight top contender Chael Sonnen will be joining Florian in studio for the Boston card.

It was previously rumored that Sonnen would face MMA legend Wanderlei Silva in the night's main event, however, that will likely not be the case now that he's on analyst duty.
